The analysts that have been following the semiconductor companies in the last year have not been very successful in my opinion. They have been focused on how the industry is contracting and what companies will survive, not on what companies have up and coming technology. The companies that are interested in the future technology of the semiconductor capital equipment makers can not really talk about JMAR because its market cap is too small, in my opinion. It is not a question of revenue or earnings just market cap. Just look at Rambus or some of the Internet companies, which are only slightly larger companies than JMAR but have many times the market CAP of JMAR. Analysts can publish recommendation on these companies because if they say something about them the stock will not react as greatly because of the higher market cap. Whereas if a large brokerage comments on JMAR they could possible double or triple the stock in an afternoon.
